I first met Kron Gracie in the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles for an EA Sports MMA pre-launch party. We both hogged the controllers while everyone eagerly looked at the game for the first time. The owner of RVCA laughed at us because we had no idea what we were doing. It was a button-smashing gallery of mistakes, and somehow Kron Gracie won the chaotic battle. He submitted me off his back with the digital representation of himself in EA MMA. The next night, I ran into Kron at the EA Sports launch party in Hollywood, CA. We talked about his father, Rickson Gracie, specifically the aura that previous fighters claim surround him when he steps in the ring. Kron then went on to break down his entire family lineage as we stood next to the open bar — and it was one of the most entertaining things I’ve heard from anyone. Now it appears Kron gave another historical breakdown of the Gracies at Universal MMA in Vancouver, BC, Canada. If you’re into knowing your jitz history, I suggest you tune in via this YouTube video below.
